Price: You'll be suprised.

When out. Hopefully before the outdoor season starts. Please don't hold me to this... but that's the target..

It will come with undertray...too answer someones previous question...
They are not on show as they are undergoing final tweaking and buffing......to minimise 'Aero Drag' -> @ Mr Doughty....

Shame you didn't look more closely... There's only 2 parts from the Pro 4....
and you can't see those....

I'm quite honestly dissopointed. With all the hype of this car i was imagineing it to be some mad radical dezign. I'm sure i have one of them in the other room, but in blue

The car looks good though, any chance of some weight distribution pictures when you get the chance to see one Jimmy? I'm intrigued to see how close motor and cell placement is to other 4wds.
It will be interesting to see one close up to see some more irregularities from the 'bj4'.

I am assuming it won't be a 'budget' buggy but by that tone, it will be less than the competition.

It does look good, saying that, most cars look good these days, and am assuming, it will be released with a miriad of hop-up options, so you can make you car look like someone puked purple anodizing solution all over it?

The only information available is clues like "we'll be surprised" etc. So I am guessing a good chunk cheaper than the other expensive cars out there, maybe more in the XX4 price range?

Default What wheels and foams inserts?

Hi
What is the wheel width for 1/10 scale 4WD buggy?
2.2" dia Front and Rear? Widths F/R?

What other brand of wheels fit will fit?
What is the Hex size?
Do you use the standard foam inserts that come with the tires? Otherwise what inserts?

I need to get a whole lot of gear when I get the buggy to save on postage.

Thanks Jeff

Do we have any sort of a confirmed date? I am on the border of buying a BJ4 or waiting for this. It sounds like I would save some cash by waiting, but I don't really want to wait for more than a month. Thanks.

I was talking to adam at the weekend and it sounds to be quite close I have to say.. They have part bags and the mould for the shell in-house to start pumping those out.
